Review evidence is limited; no individual customer feedback is available to assess service quality, reliability, or pricing. Their website lists custom designs and native plant work in Austin.
Agave delivers polished design work and well-coordinated project execution for major yard overhauls, with crews consistently leaving job sites clean and schedules kept. Mas Owens (owner), Idalia (designer), Eduardo and Santiago (project leads), and field staff like Francisco earn repeated praise for professionalism and responsiveness. Premium pricing ($500/month contracts, add-on fees) draws complaint when communication fragments across staff or commitments slip.
Service depth spans design through construction, irrigation install and repair, hardscape, and ongoing maintenance. Reviewers highlight CAD renderings, daily progress updates, real-time adjustments, and follow-up tweaking post-install. A 2-star contract review flags upselling pressure, lack of single point of contact, and design-to-delivery gaps; another notes reliance on Spanish-speaking crews without bilingual support can hinder site coordination.
Recent shift: Mixed trend over the past year. Recent months (past 3 months) show one strong 5-star praise for Benny's drip work and one 4-star mixed review citing expense and communication friction with crew. Older reviews (past year) are predominantly 5-star with rich detail on major projects. One 2-star maintenance contract review from 8 months ago flagged systemic issues with follow-through, upselling, and coordination; no subsequent review explicitly addresses whether those issues were resolved.

Nicolas and his crew consistently deliver high-quality hardscape and landscape work with genuine attention to detail. Customers repeatedly mention his responsiveness, fair pricing relative to quotes elsewhere, and willingness to adjust designs and redo work to meet quality standards. The team handles everything from sod and planting to irrigation systems, patios, fences, and decks across the greater Austin area. Repeat clients and multi-phase projects are common. Work stays on schedule and within budget, and follow-up adjustments are handled quickly.
